The UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center is nationally recognized for its “multidisciplinary” approach to cancer care, giving patients the benefit of many specialists in one place, often in one visit. Our exceptional clinical teams treat patients with the highest quality and most compassionate care.
In 2009, our multidisciplinary programs will move into The NC Cancer Hospital. This new state-of-the art facility will help shape the future of cancer care.
Our patients are at the center of everything we do. Here are their stories, which they share to offer comfort and hope to those who are facing cancer.
